I like autumn colours. The Lord is so good giving us autumn to adjust to the cold before the biting winter arrives. I have finished my quilling peacock and framed it and it is now on my dining room wall freshly decorated. i worked 3 days in Elim this week. I took a friend to a surprise lunch for her birthday with another friend at the Princes college restaurant with silver service. I had watercress and potato soup twice. pancakes with ratatouille braised fennel and croquet potato. Pear soaked in red wine without the icecream and chinese tea. my friend had lamb curry and rice and nan bread. my other friend had pork in batter 2 large pieces and chocolate pudding. I arranged to have a small fruitcake made they brought it with 4 candles lit up and 2 cooks came in and sang her happy birthday. She was pleased. then we went to craftbug for me to get quilling paper. then we went to hanningfields to a garden centre i got a chrismas cactus for a friend. today 3 of us went to the christian aid fare. I bought 4 pairs of earings and a watch and matching bracelet for my sister. 3 of the earings are clip ons for a friend. tonight I'm going to see a one man show with 3 other girls depicting the 4 gospels. Tomorrow I'm going to see a lady from luncheon club in Braintree hospital. Also take 2 friends to visit their friend in a nursing home in Bocking. Yesterday I cleared my lounge of everything into the dining room ready for coving and decorating for monday. I don't know how it all fitted in.
'Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up...and ... he prayed. A daily devotional time with God i mean expose ourselves to His resources, meditate on His word, remind ourselves that without him we can do nothing, and drink in fresh inspiration and power to meet the day'.
